HOW SHOULD I INSTILL THE FEELING OF RESPONSIBILITY TO MY CHILD?

Responsible people are people who have the ability to achieve success and happiness. Gaining responsibility begins in the family where the first education is given. The first seeds of responsibility development begin to develop within the family and continue to develop in every social environment the child enters. In this context, parents should try to do their part so that their child gains a sense of responsibility.

Experts agree that parents' giving responsibility to their children under their control contributes to the child's development and school success. Stating that the responsibilities given to him in child development are very effective, experts state that as the parents give responsibility, the child starts to grow up and can do more things easily.

So what should parents do to develop a sense of responsibility?

Raising responsible children is a process that requires patience and long and solid steps. Practice is the most effective method. Skills are most often made permanent by repeating them. For example, in order for a child to learn how to prepare their own food, their mother often has to show them how it is done. These repetitions will fully establish the child's ability to prepare meals.

You can guide your child correctly by making sure that he/she prepares his/her meal under your control. While it is repeated many times, it will be effective in gaining skill, while preparing your own meal with him and sitting down to dinner together will show your confidence in him, and you can also encourage him to continue what he is doing by praising the food he has prepared. By explaining his shortcomings in a nice and soft language, you will make him do it better. As the appreciated child will be closer to success, their self-confidence will increase and thus their desire to take responsibility will increase.

Giving your child responsibility is the most important tool that helps him understand where a job begins and ends. Thus, your child learns how to plan and schedule while doing things, which is very valuable teaching in his life.

In this context, it is among the duties of parents to guide children to take responsibility, to show encouraging behavior, and to make them feel satisfied with their success.
